[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 24485, member: 4034"] Tony: I actually said "pull away at 40 [B]RPM[/B]... I guess this is one of Francois's spruiters, which do NOT act like a switch. (Actually nor do new Lucas or new Roy Price, but new Lucas aren't available.) It seems to be widely accepted that the D ESA is much better than the B and C, which are not quite in the bete noir category, but just aren't very good. Since my C ESA was worn enough to need new parts (at 45,000 miles), I bought the new parts to converrt it to D spec, and thus upgraded. Until today, now 62,000 miles, I've never thought about it. It just works. I'm running my standard Shadow, 7.3:1, Gary Robinson 105 Mk II cams, at 34 degrees advance. I suspect that it might go better with a degree or two more, but since it has perfect "city" manners and will haul itself up to 100 mph with no trouble, I've left it alone. I don't know why, but it does look as though the new springs (perhaps combined with worn parts?) are the culprit [/QUOTE]
